$1 Billion Donation Will Provide Free Tuition at a Bronx Medical School [ NYTimes ]

The flava:

The 93-year-old widow of a Wall Street financier has donated $1 billion to a Bronx medical school, the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with instructions that the gift be used to cover tuition for all students going forward.

The donor, Dr. Ruth Gottesman, is a former professor at Einstein, where she studied learning disabilities, developed a screening test and ran literacy programs. It is one of the largest charitable donations to an educational institution in the United States and most likely the largest to a medical school.
